Two weeks from today....



Recommended Posts

OMG, two weeks from today I will be sitting in a hospital room with a brand new sleeve. Am I nervous? Are you kidding?!?!? I have so many emotions running through my head right now, I don't know how I am going to get through the next two weeks. Man, I feel like a crazy lady! I want this more than anything, I know it is the right thing for me. I am scared. What if I am the only person in the world who does not lose weight with the sleeve? God, I am going to look stupid! I am nervous. What if, after the sole reason to having this surgery is to get healthy, what if I croak on the operating table. Boy, that would really tick me off. I am anxious. I am more than ready for this. I have done tons of research and am well informed, just antsy. I feel like I need to hold my breath until this is over....but I am ready to hyperventilate. Does that make sense? I am still waiting for insurance approval.....what if they deny me? OMG, I am all over the place!



I know I can't be the only crazy lady right now. Are you guys having the same thoughts? Share them with me, will you? Let me know I'm not alone!

Surgery is Friday for me and I feel ALL of those concerns. I have this utterly horrific fear of dying on the table and then having a leak, AND THEN not losing weight is a constant worry. I'm literally scared to death... but also excited and hopeful. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
